SpellForce - The Order of Dawn Mini-Review at Review Outpost

Mainly complimentary prose based on a play through of Phenomic's fantasy role-playing strategy title

By IGN Staff

A review of SpellForce that shows a date of yesterday is mostly positive toward the elements that it covers, although it does note that the learning curve pertinent to the real time strategy component may prove tasking to initiates of that game style:

The RTS side of Spellforce can become a juggling act for the inexperienced. There are 6 races and 6 resources to be used. You can have several races functioning at the same time, and to mix it up, some races require resources that they must rely on a different race to collect. Spellforce doesn't just dump the player into the middle of that confusion. The advancement process is gradual enough to allow a person to learn which side is up.

Both the single- and multiplayer parts of the game are deemed worthy of praise in the conclusion, and an overall mark of 8 out of 10 accompanies a "reviewer's choice" badge of honor. - Annihilator
